Comment on Climate change and moral judgement by goodspkr

The seven prin¬ci¬ples of human behav¬iour that con artists exploit, accord¬ing to the article:
• THE DIS¬TRAC¬TION PRIN¬CI¬PLE: While you are dis¬tracted by what retains your inter¬est, hus¬tlers can do any¬thing to you and you won’t notice.
• THE SOCIAL COM¬PLI¬ANCE PRIN¬CI¬PLE: Soci¬ety trains peo¬ple not to ques¬tion author¬ity. Hus¬tlers exploit this “sus¬pen¬sion of sus¬pi¬cious¬ness” to make you do what they want.
• THE HERD PRIN¬CI¬PLE: Even sus¬pi¬cious marks will let their guard down when every¬one next to them appears to share the same risks. Safety in num¬bers? Not if they’re all con¬spir¬ing against you.
• THE DIS¬HON¬ESTY PRIN¬CI¬PLE: Any¬thing ille¬gal you do will be used against you by the fraud¬ster, mak¬ing it harder for you to seek help once you real¬ize you’ve been had.
• THE DECEPTION PRINCIPLE: Thing and people are not what they seem. Hustlers know how to manipulate you to make you believe that they are.
• THE NEED AND GREED PRINCIPLE: Your needs and desires make you vul¬ner¬a-ble. Once hus¬tlers know what you really want, they can easily manipulate you.
• THE TIME PRINCIPLE: When you are under time pres¬sure to make an important choice, you use a different decision strategy. Husslers steer you towards a strategy involving less reasoning.
